Ada —

A family is searching for a missing Ada teen and is hoping residents can help.

Laura Harris said her son, 15-year-old Michael Jerome Sparks Jr., was last seen at the movie theater in North Hills Shopping Center at 3:30 p.m. Friday.

She does not know if he ran away but said he has never done anything like that before.

She filed a missing person report with Ada police Monday and said she just wants him home.

Ada Police Captain Tommy Cosper said there is no evidence of foul play but Sparks was entered into a national databank as a missing person.

Sparks is an African-American male, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 195 pounds, Harris said.

Cosper said anyone with information on the whereabouts of Sparks can phone CrimeStoppers at 33CATCH or 332-2824 to report information.
